Great food(and plenty of it) coupled with fabulous hospitality and activities made this a night to remember. I would recommend Paradise Cove to anyone.

The food was delicious, the drinks were awesome (thanks CoCo!) and the atmosphere was really festive. The activities were truly enjoyable. The crowd got into everything from the net casting to the dancing. Watching the sunset was very cool. Loved it!

Despite the fact that the bus was VERY late to pick us up, the luau was great. This was our second time attending and it was just as good if not better than last year!

We are a family of six, ages 16, 18, 20, 22, 48, and 49. This is one of the best Luaus. There are all kind of activities befor the dinner which was entertaining and fun. The food was great and the service was awsome. We enjoyed the whole evening. Thank you for the wonderful time. And the bus-ride was so fun. great employees.

Good cultural luau

Reviewed by: Biochembelle

Transportation was convenient and our guide Trina made the trip entertaining. At the luau, they were very organized in dividing the guests into their seating areas. The crafts during free time and the staff assisting were excellent, though an hour wasn't enough time to get to all of the crafts. Dinner was very tasty, especially the kalua pork. As a previous reviewer has mentioned on this site, the drink coupons are valid only for certain drinks, but premium drinks can be purchased for an additional $3-7, depending on the drink and size. Please note it is a cash only bar. The bar was not well staffed, but the tour guides would fetch drinks for the guests, so at least we didn't have to stand in long lines. The bartenders were free with the quantities of alcohol going into the drinks. The dancing show was good, but I have seen better, particularly at the Polynesian Cultural Center. However, the PCC does not serve alcohol or caffeine. Also, this was the only time during our week stay on Oa

We had a great time. The village was fun to visit. The staff was great. The performance of the Hula Dancers were terrific. We were seated with people who we did not know, but had lovely conversation and enjoyed ourselves. If you find you're not going to have a good time, then "bring your own good time" That's my philosophy. So our time here was fantastic.

ナルホド。経験者の口コミ通り、日本人観光客はワタクシメと家内の二人だけでした。
右を向いても左を見ても、欧米かっ！って感じでした。
ＢＵＳの中で、しゃべりまくるガイドのオネーサン。
早すぎて、通訳が間に合いませんでした。

しかも、到着したその日に行ったので、頭が英語の脳になってないのと、眠いのと・・・。

ワタクシメも家内も、ＢＵＳで移動中は殆んど、寝てたような気がします。
時々目覚めてＴＯＷとか言ってた様な気がします。
ＢＵＳの車番が２号車なんですが。

ステージが始まる前にアチコチで、いろんなパフォーマンスをやる訳ですが、寝ぼけの頭ではなんだか判らなくって。

でも、これらは、言葉が通じなくても平気ですねぇ。
椰子の実を、地面にさした杭で剥いたり、椰子の木の早登り

食事中のステージのショーも素敵でした。
途中で、暗くなったんで、アレ、もう終りかヨ。照明を消すことはネェじゃねぇかよ。って思ってたら、ソレからが本番
ファイアーダンスが有ったり、素晴しい照明効果で、充分たのしんだんです。

ＨＡＷＡＩＩＡＮのルーツは、東南アジアからミクロネシアポリネシアそしてハワイ諸島ってのが、ダンスと衣装でわかります。

Paradise Cove Luau

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I have been to Luau's before (on Maui and on Oahu) and was disappointed with this one. It was so "commercial" and lacking in the real feel of island music and culture. I suppose it was way bigger than any other I had been to so the sheer numbers make it a logistical problem.
I like to see something more genuine than that.
I had been to the Polynesian Cultural Centre and consider that they covered what I was looking for in a much more genuine mannner. That sort of concert material combined with a "real" cooking of food in the earth would have been better. There was not even any steam as the food was taken out of the "earth oven" - an anticlimax.

Our bus tour driver was dreadful but the staff at the actual site were brilliant. Overall though a disappointment.

Paradise Cove Luau Nov. 13, 2008

Reviewed by: Brooke, from Kansas

What an awesome luau! It was our first time to Oahu, and our first time to a luau, and we highly recommend going to Paradise Cove!
The hostess on board our bus (#6) was funny and engaged the crowd. The events leading up to the meal, and show were quite entertaining, and the drinks from the bar were YUMMY!!
I made a bracelet from fresh flowers and TI leaves, and I even got a tattoo.
The show was AMAZING, and the food was quite good, too! We only chose the basic package, with 2 drinks, shell leis, and buffet seating, and were really happy with everything! Buy the photo they take when you arrive...great souvenir!
Can't wait to come back when my kids are a little older - we will definitely bring the family to
Paradise Cove next time!!

確かに英語が全然分からない人には難しいかもしれません。でも、少しの英語力と、一歩踏み出る度胸さえあれば充分楽しめると思います。
日本人は本当に少なくて、私たち以外に見つけることはできませんでした。
ガイドの方も、ほとんど日本語はしゃべれません。
でも、だからこそ楽しめるという部分もあると思います。
飲み物や食べ物は充分すぎるほど。
ステージでの催しも、どれもすばらしく、かなり満足できました。
街中も勿論素敵だけれど、こういった所でハワイを体験するのもいいですよ。

2nd Time and Better than the Last

Reviewed by: Jon

My partner and I brought his mom with us to Hawaii and this was the closing to our one week trip. The staff as always were exceptional. However, I wish there was more time to just relax instead of being herded around like a bunch of cattle. I felt that there was too much to do and see with so little time. We had the deluxe package, which we never got our photos and free gifts as promised. That was a big disappointment.

英語だらけ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

とにかく英語三昧でした。バスはもちろん、現地に着いてからも日本人は私たちグループだけでした。
バスでの送迎のため、勝手に行って勝手に帰ってくるというわけにはいかないので、英語のヒアリングをするのが本当に大変でした。
。
送迎のバスに担当者がいて、その人が案内してくれます。現地での席はその担当者の名前とバスの番号が必要になりますので、そこだけは必ず覚えておく必要があります。私たちのときは、ジャッキーが担当者で、バス番号は5番でした。

帰りの集合がいつなのか、どこなのか、とにかく手探りでした。結局ショーが終わったら、それぞれで適当に席を立ち、買い物をしたり、ブラブラしたりするようですが、もうバスに戻っていてもいいようです。私たちは、とにかく分からなかったので、記念写真を販売していたジャッキーを探しだし、バスの場所を聞き、バスに戻るとこができました。

不安はたくさんありましたが、ショーはとても迫力があり、すごくよかったです。ご飯もおいしかったです。今回の参加で、流れがわかったので、また行きたいと思います。

This was our first luau that we've experienced and we're pretty happy w/Paradise Cove. The location is beautiful, the hosts and hostesses were very nice, and the activities were enjoyable. If only the activities could have lasted longer than the time they had allocated, it would have been better.

We loved the food and the show towards the end. The weather was perfect, and during the final show we saw a falling star. Perfect luau in paradise. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a great luau experience!

I would recommend that anyone at any age range see a luau while visiting Hawaii. Paradise Cove was awesome. The entertainment was magnificant, the staff was very nice, my waiter was shy and asked for his picture not to be posted on the internet :) They feed you a lot of food. VIP is the way to gp because you stay seated, your food is served to you and for a hot afternoon you are under a cover with fans. You have a wonderful sunset view. Just GOOD LUCK if it rains!!

Relaxing, Beautiful, and Fun

Reviewed by: Krystle

First of all, I highly recommend the v.i.p box. I was kind of expecting an individual booth, but it’s actually an area under a shed seating about 30-40 people (8 people a table). Even though you’re sitting with other people, v.i.p beats getting up to stand in line for food. There would be a staff member serving you, also most important is the weather. A staff member I talked to mentioned that if it happens to rain, the only people that would be covered are people in v.i.p. If it does rain, there would be security guards blocking the v.i.p booth, if anyone with a standard seat tries to enter.

The activities are delightful, the gift shops are great, and I must have spent about 100-130 dollars just on souvenirs. The picture taken of us is beautiful. Going as a couple, 6 drink coupons each were plenty. When you enter you will receive a complimentary drink, so we actually had extra coupons by the end of the. The staffs are nice, helpful, and funny. It was a great luau………..

The Paradise Cove Luau was a very fun experience and it is great for families since they have activities you can participate in. The food was very delicious, I however would not recommend paying the extra for the Deluxe package with table service and 6 standard drink coupons. Table service was very slow, people who did the buffett had food way before we did AND there were other things on the buffett that table service guests did not receive.

Two things were very prominent on this excursion.

1) It seemed very focussed on couples. Lots of references for people celebrating engagements, weddings & anniversaries. There was also a special song played so couples could dance together.

2) There were too many add-ons where it seemed really obvious they were trying to get more money out of you ($15 to have your picture taken with some tropical birds for example and also the bar staff trying to talk you into getting the drinks that your free coupon doesn't quite cover). Some of the extra activites were pretty lame and the staff didn't really seemed interested in even pretending to be enthused about being there.

The actual show was pretty good, although it didn't really go on that long. I was at a VIP table and the waiter hovered around and couldn't take your plate so as to start the next course quick enough. No offer of if you would like some more or not despite the fact it was "all you can eat".
